Booth C53 Bridges Practical Solutions with Local Manufacturing Needs. Drives Partnerships with Pakistan’s Leading Footwear Manufacturers.
Lahore, Pakistan – From April 11th to 13th, HELEY, a B2B adhesive solutions provider, participated in the Pakistan Footwear Material & Machinery Show at the Lahore Expo Centre. With a focus on balancing performance and cost-efficiency, the team at Booth C53 engaged with over 150 footwear manufacturers and suppliers, including industry leaders like Stylo Shoes and Z.Baby Shoes to discuss practical adhesive innovations for modern shoemaking.
HELEY’s Booth C53: A Hub for Technical Dialogue
As a key player in industrial adhesives, HELEY positioned its booth at the heart of the Expo Centre Lahore, attracting manufacturers seeking reliable bonding solutions. The team showcased products tailored to the local market, such as high-temperature resistance adhesive, designed to maintain stability during prolonged exposure to heat during footwear assembly.
“Many visitors were intrigued by how our adhesives can simplify production without compromising quality,” noted a HELEY representative. For example, a leather shoe producer highlighted the potential of HELEY’s formulas to reduce manual adjustments in sole attachment processes.
Industry Feedback: Efficiency and Adaptability in Focus
During the three-day event, approximately 70% of visiting factories requested detailed technical specifications, with 20+ enterprises scheduling follow-up meetings. A common theme emerged: manufacturers prioritized adhesives that integrate smoothly with both traditional and automated footwear machinery.
The Show also revealed growing interest in sustainable practices. While HELEY’s current offerings emphasize durability and cost-effectiveness, the team gathered insights on emerging needs—such as low-odor formulas for indoor manufacturing—to guide future R&D efforts.
Trends and HELEY’s Next Steps
The 2024 edition of the Footwear & Machinery Show underscored critical shifts in the industry:
- Automation Compatibility: Adhesives must align with machinery upgrades to minimize downtime.
- Localized Solutions: Pakistani manufacturers seek suppliers who adapt products to regional climate challenges, such as high humidity.
In response, HELEY plans to expand its testing protocols for adhesives under extreme environmental conditions, ensuring they meet the specific demands of South Asian footwear production. “Our goal is to stay ahead of industry trends, not just follow them,” said the HELEY team.
